That is absolutely untrue. You do not "develop bad sectors" by
writing to the end of the disk. Nor do viruses "expand" like that.
I had this happen on
several ibm machines were the virus ruined the drive as a result of
taking all
the sectors filling it to 100 percent capacity. So the source, is
the machine
worked 100 percent, the virus entered and upon re install of
windows or trying
to re install windows. The machine failed, when checked it was full
of bad
sectors so their is your source experience. Argument done last post
on this
issue.
Thats impossible. Filling a hard drive merely fills it. It cannot
cause bad sectors. It will cause windows to crash, it may cause cross
linked files, but it will not harm the hard drive. Reformat and it's
as good as new.
A drive with a failing controller may do this,but not a virus.
